ABSTRACT
The topic I have been asked to discuss is one of the most controversial subjects to appear on the livestock horizon in some time. It has been frequently reported in the veterinary and feed-trade literature with the expected wide range of ideas and conclusions. Your Program Committee felt that it was time that animal scientists be called into the fray, and to focus attention on the problems and opportunities that such a discussion offers. It is my hope to: (a) report conditions as they exist in the field today; (b) discuss some of the disquieting as well as optimistic features of the existing conditions; and (c) offer some recommendations to animal scientists as to possible ways to take advantage of the possibilities and to resolve the problem areas.
Any of you nonveterinarians, faced with the task of discussing this area, would no doubt react in the same manner as I; namely, I have preconceived ideas about the subject, but I am not sure of all the facts.
